In v4.3 of Simply Migration we introduced a powerful new feature to leverage some of Office365’s eDiscovery Center features by adding support Keyword Query Language (KQL) job filtering. What is this KQL you ask? KQL is a search query language used by many Microsoft products including SharePoint Search and Exchange server. To quote Microsoft: A KQL query…
